EVIDENCES OF THE BELIEVER
Abraham Lincoln's daily devotional for the 22nd of February
Heavenly-Mindedness
“Our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Phillipians 3:20 KJV
Beyond the bounds of time and space,
Look forward to that heavenly place,
The saints' seccure abode;
On faith's strong eagle pinion rise,
And force your passage to the skies,
Strong in the strength of God.

Brothers in Need

Prayerful hints: When praying for brothers in need, please interceed
not only for the brother, but his doctors and physicians assistants
and family, that they might be alert, and skillfull beyond their

I might add this scriptural reminder the we read in the book of Job, 22:10, “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends; also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.”
